Reticulon 3 interacts with NS4B of the hepatitis C virus and negatively regulates viral replication by disrupting NS4B self-interaction
4 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
The non-structural protein 4B (NS4B) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein comprising two consecutive amphipathic α-helical domains (AH1 and AH2). Its self-oligomerization via the AH2 domain is required for the formation of the membranous web that is necessary for viral replication. Previously, we reported that the host-encoded ER-associated reticulon 3 (RTN3) protein is...
